They can tell us a meteor will hit the earth in 300 years, but for their own stuff we get less than a day's notice?

I imagine that predicting that something will happen in 300 years is pretty safe. Who is going to check to see if it happens, or even care if it happens.

A NASA satellite weighing the equivalent of 10 emus is set to crash into Earth later today (April 19) and it could land on someone's head.
Aww, you didn't tell us there was gonna be a math quiz involving animal weight and metric conversion today. >clunk!< Nevermind.

Update! Apparently it landed on some preppie travelling in North Africa.

Maybe he can say that he meant Elon Musk's new rocket, which BLEW UP after takeoff today and fell into the Gulf of Mexico.
Karma, Elon.

Elon might call that an unplanned instant dismantling.

Laden or unladen emus?

When one of the old space stations was due back on Earth, Taco Bell floated a raft in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, with a sign on it reading "Spacecraft Land Here, Win Free Chalupa".
Of course, it didn't happen, as the odds of it striking a random 20' square target are about as small as Dave selling me his classic Stratocaster, meaning no chance at all.

Well, I was sitting on the second floor of my house waiting for this 'pie from the sky' to fall so I could watch it, and damn, this car suddenly lands in my room.
